Re: Female coaching a men's team
The idea that a woman would find it difficult to command the respect of a male football team is really a throw back to good old fashioned sexism is it not?
It’s not really anything to do with the games being “different”. If it were, why is it ok for the WSL and female international football to be occupied by plenty of male head coaches?
It can’t be playing experience either. Lots of top male managers these days didn’t kick a ball professionally. There have been several in the Premier League this season and one in a European final just this week.
That just leaves the fact that they are women, which is really about male attitudes.

It’ll happen eventually. Football only really cares about money. If a women comes along who can get you results - and more cash - then they’ll get offers.

Re: Female coaching a men's team
I wonder if they’ll get the same sort of stick from crowds and the press as male managers get?
I.e think of some of the abuse the likes of Warnock have got from Burnley fans in the past. Or humiliating press articles like Wally with the Brolly got.

Re: Female coaching a men's team
The last two female prime ministers were unpalatable to the majority of MP’s within their own party and neither was elected at the ballot box. People would rather go back decades to recall Margaret Thatcher rather than put forward Liz Truss to support their logic.Awayfromburnley wrote: ↑Fri Jun 02, 2023 8:04 pmGenuine and intended as polite - why?
As a dad of 3 daughters, all into football, why should they be excluded?
50 years ago a female prime minister would have been unpalatable to some.... (political slant aside as to previous female leaders, why shouldn't it be an aspiration?)

Re: Female coaching a men's team
I tell my young daughter she can be anything she chooses when she grows up. It's no longer a man's world. If a woman can shortly set foot on the moon then managing a men's football team should be a walk in the park.
Diversity of thought would suggest female managers could actually bring something new to the game and maybe even improve it.It could only be a step up from the style of say Allardyce,so perhaps the future is better.

Not bothered in the slightest if a woman manages a mens team. Much like the non-footballing world just get the best person for the job, whatever their gender / race etc.

Re: Female coaching a men's team
Nowhere near enough women in the game to filter through . Though you get a woman doing the business , I’m pretty sure they’d get a chance at league level to show their worth. Quote suprised a div 2 club haven’t given a woman a go tbh .
Re: Female coaching a men's team
Maybe they should take it in stages, start with a woman who was born a man and transitioned to a woman. That would certainly sooth ruffled feathers and deliver the best of both worlds.
